As you might have seen, I integrated most of fpc-mips already and I
think the way to go is:
- mips (compiler target)/cpumips (host) defined for all mips cpus
- cpumipsel (host) defined for all mips little endian cpus
- cpumipseb (host) defined for all mips big endian cpus
- mips32 (compiler target)/cpumips32 (host) defined for all mips 32 bit
architectures cpus
- mips64 (compiler target)/cpumips32 (host) defined for all mips 64 bit
architectures cpus
As well as cpumips32el, cpumips32eb, cpumips64el and cpumips64eb. Within
the compiler, the eb/el decision is made based on the target_info.

The CPU targets makefile wise should be:
mips (big endian)
mipsel
mips64 (big endian)
mips64el
